IT was a huge night at Kingdom Greyhound Stadium on Friday as the Friends of University Hospital Kerry held their annual Gala Benefit Night.

Sponsored by Kerry Group, the event saw a massive crowd converge on the stadium with great family entertainment for the 27th anniversary of the fundraising programme which has raised in excess of €2 million since its inauguration in 1991.

Also on the night, the final of the Denny KDL Champions League Stakes was held with Floury Spuds the winner for Tralee Celtic winning €1,300.

There was also spot prizes and a Best Dressed Lady competition on a great night of fundraising. Scroll down for photos…
